Hi everyone, I just joined this place. I got my GB surgery done 21/5 so its been a week yesterday. I live in Oman and there weren't many options to do this surgery elsewhere. After reading about GBS recovery and food stages and Proteins, I am stunned. My doc asked me to drink no Protein supplements, no Calcium citrate! I am on a liquid diet till now that consists of Water, tea, normal juices, broths and Soup. I can drink anything I want without large quantities of sugar. I asked him and the NUT about protein intake, supps etc.. They said no extra supplements. And as for the puréed stage, eat what others are eating at home and just purée it. Nothing about protein first, nothing about no sugar. I am clueless on how to proceed.

Yeah the first week was Clear liquids, and I've been cleared to the soft food/ mashed diet already.. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Thanks Lynn. Appreciate the good thoughts! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

This is what I decided to do.. I'm going to follow what my surgeon said not this moron. I'll eat what I cook at home after blending it and avoid too much carbs and sugar for 3 weeks. If things don't look good.i.e I feel weak or don't shed weight, I have all the info I need from reading various things off of the Internet. Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

Hi, thanks for your reply, I did ask her! She said I don't advise Protein drinks, you need to get it out of your daily diet. She also told me at month 2 I could eat some fries if I wanted. Her list of foods for me now include fruit flavoured yogurt, WHITE bread etc They haven't told me to not drink with meals' no waiting rules nothing! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

It's just a bit unnerving, the whole world is moving on one path and I'm headed elsewhere.
